I wonder if there any wheels like this for the F56 series of MINI? In another year I will be purchasing my 3rd MINI JCW and am curious as to if there's to be anything affordable and interesting for that new ride then.

I'm still now a fan of 18" wheels, but this new series seems to look like it needs the larger wheels. I, also, have in the past gone up one size in tire, but with the F56, especially the JCW pictures I've seen the 18's seem to fill up the tire/wheel cavity better. Of course, a little taller tire may just do the same thing. I had 205 x 50 x17" on my R59 for a while, but they had problems with the plastic lip, but only on one side. I switched back to 215 x 45 x 17's again and no problem.

Hi Guys,

I have just gone through this thread from top to bottom and have noticed that the thread has gone a bit stale and a lot of the links are now dead. I'm afetr some RB for my Astro Black JCW.





The colours I'm interested in are Hyper Black, Gunmetal and Gloss Black. Is anyone able to assist?

Nice looking ride and love the RBs, but EV plates on an R53...?

Not to worry... Not my real plate; Just some Photoshop fun meant to elicit a response.

Well, here they are. A couple of posts back someone was looking for flat caps rather than the cups. Did you find any, or does anyone else know of some?
